Gen. George A. Sheridan created Il
tremendous sensation in his audience
when he described Ingersoll in the act
Of again crucifying Christ. For some
moments he had been describing the
beauties of Christ's character, and the
results OF his teachings, showing their
value to the world aud picturing their
triumph over barbarisms pausing for
an instant as If to master his emotions,
he suddenly strobe to the very edge of
the stage (his face pale and his eyes
flashing) and cried out in a voice that
rang like trumpe,-call through the
great church, aWhat do you think of
TINT man who in the very monday
glory Of that triumph picks up the
cruel spear dropped by the scofiug
centurion nineteen hundred years ago
on Calvary, and with savage glee
pfunges it again into the heart of d.
vine love, then turns to you his sacri'
legious hands dripping with sacred
blood, and cries out exuttinxIy, "Shout!
shout! with nue. in triumph, for
have slain the Christ again."

THROWING DYNAMITE SHELLS.

IfGen. George Washington could
have taken look at Lieut.. Zalinski's
pneumatic dynamite gun yesterday, at
Fort Lafayette, he would probably
have exclaimed: "a gun! Nonsense.
That's putty blower" The gun is,
in fact, a slender steel tube, sixty feet
long and one foot In diameter, balanced
like grasshopper on a skeleton frame
work. 1t does not look as If 1t could
hurl $50 pound conical shell good
two miles and quarter. Yet that was
what was done yesterday. Capt. Whip
pie, who is going to make report to
the Ordnance Department, iouked on.
Four shots were fired, each shell con-
tanning flfy pounds IT dynamite. The
air pressure was u Thousand pounds.
The fir-t snot took 8 3-6 seconds to
travel 1916 yards, aud on touching the
water II exploded. The second shot ,
with Il slow fuse, siJuck the water 25OO
fee away, r:c'che:ted and disappeared.
a stcunu later II huge column of mud
and water arose for many feet. The
third shot, with the gun at an eleva-
Ion1of 33A degrees, was failure, ow-
ing to the breaking of the shell in the
ALE. The fOMth shot, at the same
angle Of elevation, was twenty-five
seconds in the air, and it struck 1868
yards away, or about two miles and Il
quarter.
Lieut.. Zalinski, who Is perfecllng
this gun for the government, says he
expects great results from 1t. The shell
Is far from perfect, aud workmen are
constantly engaged in experimenting
upon 1t. AS yet, he has not used more
than 1000 pounds air pressure.-N. Y.

dropped her on the clean, white san
ded floor of the pantry that she might
track around il. Then he went back
to his corn rows. Evening brought
the family home. The boy saw them
ciiQb joyousIy out of the big wagon.
He noted how the overripe apples fell
from the trees when his sister jumped
over the side and lighted aat-footed on
the ground. He saw his father let
himself down over the double trees
and get himself kicked twice by the
roam colt. He saw his mother waiting
patiently uutil somebody had time and
inclination 10 take the baby. He saw
his grandmother perch herself on the
hub of the hind wheel on one foot,
while she made vague, circumferential
wandering excursions for the wide,
wide world with the other. He saw
his brothers let themselves down over
the tail gate AMI sneak away to avoid
doing any work. AT last the wagon
was empty, and there were visible
signs of excitement about the house.
"Tbe raid Undiscovered" said the boy,
cutting the roots Of a healthy stalk Of
corn and carefully killing up a vig-
orous lance weed. Presently he saw
his father come out of the house with
the gun over his shoulder and the cat
under his arm. "The culprit Is arres-
ted" calmly remarked the young
robber, as he leaned ihoughtfulIy upon
his hoe, and watched his father disap.
pear behind the barn. The sharp re-
port of gun rang out upon the quiet
of the sunset hour. "There," said the
boy. with the confident expression of
one who knows what he is talking
about, Where goes another victim to
circumstantial evidence"

A PSALM OF LIFE.

Through tho wild Babel of our fever'd
= time
The song of Homer cometh. grave and
stern,
with tidings from the worlds fresh,
healthy prime
Tidings which our worn, wearied age con-
Germ.
Unchanged, through all the longunnuin-
!. bered years,
The voice of Homer sings the song divine;
Which tells OF god-like tolls. OF heroes
And Of the punishment of Priam's line:
Tho battle in the plain is raging yet,
The watchires blaze, the beak'd ships line
For us the foe in grim array is SET
All! but do we fight as they fought of
-. yore? .-'
For we, too, lik the heroes long ago..
Must wage slow wars and sail the bitter
Fierce is the conflict, loud the trumpets
blow,
And the waves roar and rage Increasingly.
Still must we wander DER the stormy
tst main;t
Twixt rocks and whirlpools dead passage
make;
Still m ust the Sirens sing to us in vain;
Still from tho tolls OF Gree must we break.
Turn then to Homer's Psalm of Life, and
How they endured whose pilgrimage is
done;
And hear tho message they have left fol
Only BY patiefice is the victory won.

SHAKESPEARE AT A DISCOUNT.

a story is now told by one who is q
force in Colorado politics, on Ex-Sena.
tor Tabor, almost as interesting as the
night-gown story told en- Colorado's
exiegislator when he was filling
somebody's unexpired term in the
Senate. The fame of Tabor's Opera
when Mr.. Tabor determined to build
a thesAter at Leadvllle he announced
that he would have one built that
would make his former effort at Denver
look like shed. He loudly asserted
that he would knock the earth out,
especially in the decorations of the
Leadville home of Thespis.
He sent to Italy for his decorator,
and did not go inside the Lead vile
structure until the Italian sent him
word that he would like his opinion.
Mr.. Tabor went in company with the
artist, and after careful scrutiny ex-
expressed himself as quite satisfied.
"But tell me-" quoth Mr.. Tabor,
':what man are you making famous by
putting his portrait up there?"
"Why, that is a very. true present.
ment of Shakspere,'f replied. tibet ar.
tist.
"Who Is he ?" asked the examiner.
"Why, the great dra IN atist, ofeourse,
and not only the greatest playwright,
but the greatest bard as WE'LL"
swell, he may have been a-of II
big fellow. but never heard that he
did much for Leadville. Just paint
him out of that aud paint me in"

DoNNELLY's SHAKESPEARE CIPHER.

ST. PAUL, March 26.-The Hon.
t1gnats~s Donnetiy, -sip,s Ner,eHss.ative
cares are no longer Weighing him
down, has devoted himself once again
to his work on the Baconian cipher. A
Sun representative found him In an
unusually chatty mood, and in res-
ponse to q question as to the progress
being made, he replied substantially as
follows:
"Yes, sir, my work Is progressing
admirably. Am I conflden, of the
existence of the cipher? Certainly.
Why not ? How can one doubt the evi
dence of his senses : If you will get
the February (1ss7) hummer of tn
Shakesperiana (pub.ished in Pnila-
detphia) aud Iook on page 81, you Will
find there a sample of the c,pner, shows
ing its purely arithneticai Character
aud its wonderful accuracy. The whole
of the cipher story is fold in the same
way. There Is no room for seif-d-eep-
tion, no scope for the imagination. A
man might be as mad as Il March hare,
but he can not add up fif,y 80 as to
make 1t twenty. am neither de>
csievd myself nor deceiving others. l
give the instance of the cipher copied
into 8takespeuyiono simply as u specs
men brick, TO show how the grand
and wonderful ed,fice was constructed.
"What Is the cause of the delay in
publishing? Simply because the work
is vaster than / imagined. I started
out with an expectation Of finding one
or two cipher words on each page !;
then advanced to dozen or two,
then to a score or two; then I thought
the cipher words were one. fifth of the
text, according to Bacon's cipher rule,
where he tells US 'the writing infold>
ing holdeth quintupie relation to the
writing iniolded." Now I find that
more than half the words are cipher
words, and that many words, as in the
sampla> given in Shakesperiana, are
made to do double and treble duty.
In the plays 81 First and Second Hens
nv w., Bacon intended to leave, for
the establishment of all time, piece
OF work the most ingenious and marve-
lous ever constructed by the wit OF
man. How any human intellect could
have achieved such work Is matter
OF daily surprise to me. could not
believe 1t myself II my arithmeticsl
rule, applied with the untost rigidity
aud precision, did not prove 1t TO me
every hour of the day. Imagination
There isn't any more imagination in
the work I am doing than there IL in
the labors OF a flrst-ciass bOokkeeper In;
Va mercantile establishments, ADD my
work will prove itself just as his does,
V the fact that every other mao,
lSoipg over it carefully, must reach the
same results. I hope to get my book
to tho printer by July"
